Trivia
- The film's plot is loosely inspired by the 1992 American film 'The Man with Two Brains', but with a revenge twist.
- It was one of the few 1990s Bollywood films shot extensively in Nepal, featuring scenic mountain backdrops.
- Lead actor Mithun Chakraborty performed his own stunts for the action sequences, including a risky cliff jump.
- The movie's soundtrack, composed by Bappi Lahiri, included a hit qawwali song that became popular at live events.
- Despite its sci-fi premise, the film performed poorly at the box office and was a commercial failure.
- Director K. Bapayya was known for Telugu cinema and this was one of his rare directorial ventures in Hindi.
- The brain transplant surgery scene used practical effects and models, as CGI was not widely available in India then.
